  1. A lot of our non-reusable resources are becoming reusable: aluminum, gold, paper, and many other natural resources are becoming more reusable because of more efficient recycling methods. Anything that you put in your recycling bin is a re-usable resource. I suppose certain types of plastics would be consider non-renewable.


  2. Do you mean renewable and non-renewable?

    Renewable is anything that can be replinished rapidly enough to be used within human timeframes.  Non-renewable is anything that cannot be replenished within human timeframes.

    Renewable - trees (or other plant material for that matter), solar ( constant inpour everyday), wind (it's always blowing somewhere), water (as in hydroelectric dams, not as in drinking water), geothermal energy (constant sources)

    Non-renewable - water (as in drinking, especially from groundwater aquifers that take thousands of years to recharge), coal (takes millions of years to form), oil (takes millions and millions of years to form), soil (again takes millions of years to form), ore (such as iron, copper, etc. again takes way to long to form), believe it or not elements (from the periodic chart) are non renewable (there are a fixed number of each one available on this planet (when they get locked up in a dishwasher and buried in a landfill they are gone for far too long for humans to ever use them again without recycling)

  3. reuse solar,wind,hydro,corn (ethanol)

    non coal.gas,oil

  4. Do you mean "renewable" resources?
